Description

Test a machine that randomly packages two types of fruit jubes: kookaburra and koala. Notice that koala jubes are twice as likely to be produced within a packet of 12 jubes. Look at patterns in sequences of jube types such as koala, kookaburra, koala, kookaburra, koala (run of five). Analyse the results of large samples. Compare the longest runs of alternating jube types. Identify the longest run most likely to occur in a packet. This learning object is one in a series of 17 objects.

Key learning objectives

Students analyse data about random events to test conjectures about variation.
